HealthSport, Inc. (HSPO.OB), a developer, manufacturer, and marketer of branded nutritional supplements, announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cooley Nutraceuticals, Inc., reached an agreement with USA Drug (USAD) to become an authorized distributor of Fix(tm) Hangover Strips. Information about this product can be found by clicking on following URL: (http://www.fixstrips.com).

Fix(tm) Hangover Strips utilizes a propriety blend of ingredients that result in a faster and more efficient method to cure the inevitable hangover. Common symptoms of hangovers; fatigue, headache, nausea and weakness, are unwanted by almost every individual who consumers alcohol, and can be cured quickly by taking Fix Strips.

Patented Fix Strips deliver a blend of active ingredients through the soft tissue of the inner cheek and gum through a process known as Buccal Absorption. In fact, these strips allow Buccal Absorption to occur naturally without adding sugar and carbs. The drug uses such ingredients as B-Vitamins, Vitamin C, Caffeine, and electrolytes to aid in combating the mild withdrawals that the body suffers due to overindulgence of alcohol.

Clay Cooley, President of Cooley Nutraceuticals, Inc, stated, “USA Drug is a perfect partner as an initial retailer for the Fix(tm) Hangover Strips due to the regional nature of their locations. In addition, the response from potential distributors and retailers has been amazing, and I expect steady sales to occur as we begin delivering product during the end of October”.

HealthSport announced this morning that its wholly owned subsidiary, Enlyten, launched a redesigned website for the Enlyten SportStrips. The SportStrips are an innovative product that delivers electrolytes in a quick and efficient manner through an edible thin strip.

The new website better defines the products and the science behind the electrolyte strips by featuring audio, video, podcasts, updated athlete profiles and images, contests, informative product overviews, and photos. The “Who’s Enlytened” page lists those who have purchased the product, which include professional, collegiate, and high school organizations.

Dan Kelly, President of HealthSport, stated, “We wanted to create a new website that was engaging and informative. `The design is very user friendly and offers a great deal of valuable information about our company, the science behind our product and how it works. We have worked hard to create a unique look for our products, and this website showcases that effort.”

HealthSport announced that its Enlyten SportStrips were chosen as the Best in Show in the Nutritional Products category at the 2007 National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) Trade Show. The trade show is known as the largest exhibition of athletic-training products and services in the world.

The President of HealthSport, Dan Kelly, stated, “We are proud to have our product recognized by the attendees of the NATA. We are honored that Enlyten SportStrips were selected for the ‘Best in Show Award’ in the Nutritional Products category. Winning the Best in Show Award demonstrates the athletic trainers’ recognition and appreciation of Enlyten SportStrips’ unique and effective delivery method. Since returning from the NATA Trade Show, we have experienced a tremendous increase in demand and inquiries about our SportStrips. The positive feedback from athletic trainers who were introduced to our SportStrips has been incredible.”

The company has already received orders from many NFL and CFL teams including the Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers, Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos and the CFL’s BC Lions.

Enlyten SportStrips replace lost electrolytes through a unique thin strip delivery system, which has been shown to be dramatically faster then other systems. When the strip is placed between the cheek and gum, gastric absorption is bypassed and higher levels of electrolytes are placed directly into the bloodstream.

HealthSport announced that it has signed agreements with The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), and The Henry M. Jackson Foundation to develop a new product and study electrolyte delivery in HealthSport’s edible thin film strips.

Enlyten SurvivalStrips, the newest product to be added, were specifically developed to help maintain energy in Military Soldiers. Because the troops are exposed to extreme environmental conditions, and many times wearing full gear, missions can be compromised and their health can be affected. The Cooperative Research and Development Agreement will determine the Enlyten Electrolyte Strips effectiveness in preventing dehydration and maintaining performance.

Dan Kelly, President of HealthSport, stated, “Nothing is more important than the health and safety of our soldiers. Whether they are on the battlefield or going through training, we want to be able to provide them with the best replenishment product possible to ensure that they are able to stay focused and stay healthy. We are truly honored that the Uniform Services University has elected to research the effectiveness of the Enlyten Electrolyte Strips.”

HealthSport announced today that many football teams have already placed orders for their Enlyten SportStrips as the NFL training camps prepare to begin the new season.

Medco, one of the world’s largest suppliers of medical products to athletic trainers, sports medicine professionals, physical therapists and schools, was responsible for the sales. HealthSport recently signed a distribution agreement with Medco and has its SportStrips displayed on the distributor’s online homepage.

Bill Graham, Vice President of Sales for Medco, stated, “We are very excited to be the sports medicine distributor of the Enlyten SportStrips. After promoting the product at the National Athletic Trainers Association Conference, we have received inquiries from all levels of athletics including Coaches and Certified Athletic Trainers at the high school, college and professional level, representing all sports. Enlyten’s product line offers a unique electrolyte delivery method that appeals to all athletes, not just professionals, and we are truly excited to be able to offer this incredible product.”

Buffalo Bills Head Athletic Trainer, Bud Carpenter, commented, “Enlyten SportStrips provide an additional option for electrolyte replacement to our athletes, especially during intense games in warm weather and two-a-day practice sessions at training camp when cramping can affect performance. There are many ways nutrients can enter the body. The biggest factor with the Enlyten strips is they can be absorbed faster into the body’s system.”

Enlyten, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HealthSport, will be unveiling The Champions League Trophy along with A.C. Milan and the New York City Sports Commission at a press conference located in the country’s #1 soccer bar.

Earlier this year, the company announced a partnership with A.C. Milan which included supplying the team with Enlyten SportStrips and extensive testing of the product. The well-known soccer player used the strips during his victorious 2007 Champions League semi-finals and finals matches.

The President of HealthSport, Dan Kelly, stated, “We are so proud to be partnered with one of the most successful soccer organizations in the world and are excited to be able to bring the Champions League Trophy to fans in the U.S. for the very first time.”

The company’s premier product, Enlyten SportStrips, replaces electrolytes lost during vigorous workouts. Many similar products on the market use sport drinks to distribute lost electrolytes, but are often high in sugar and do not do not properly balance electrolytes.

The market’s acceptance of the product is increasing as more discover it. The product offers many advantages which makes it a key choice above the competition.
